video2geoframes.py
Python program to generate a collection of geotagged images from a video and a GPS track.
Designed for contribution to street-level imagery projects like Mapillary or Panoramax.
Notes
This program was originally designed for personal use to contribute to Mapillary then Panoramax with a smartphone (video mode) or a dashcam.
This v1 is the last version of the original code, published "as it is" with certain known bugs and limitations.
Since June 2024, a v2 was started to develop with the aim of :
- enhance performances
- fix known bugs
- clean code
- remove non-Python dependencies
- implement more flexible configuration with TOML.
